Has anyone experienced shortness of breath related to endometriosis? I’m thinking endometrial tissue might be attached to and affecting my diaphragm making it hard to breathe. I have a provisional diagnosis, but I haven’t had surgery to confirm or treat because no surgeon will operate due to my severely poor wound healing. So this could be something completely unrelated to endometriosis as well.
Yes, some people have experienced shortness of breath related to endometriosis, particularly thoracic endometriosis. One user mentioned that their doctor suspected thoracic endo because they experienced shortness of breath and chest pains 1 1/2 - 2 weeks before their period started. Another user suggested looking into thoracic endo if experiencing shortness of breath leading up to the period.
